What are some good sites to find parts for this model and what do you recommend for upgrades?
Thanks
there are several things you might need to do.. chain, hubs, bottom bracket, tires, cables, brake pads, you won't know until you get it from the seller. get a copy of bicycling magazine's complete guide to bicycle maintenance and repair. an older copy if you can find it since it will be a lot easier to find the stuff you will be looking for with out haveing to go through all the newer inventions. like sti. this one should do the trick it is the 1986 edition but if you look there is also a couple from 1990.
